Congress kidnapping BRS candidates out of fear, says Harish Rao

Former Minister T Harish Rao on Wednesday said the Congress party was kidnapping BRS candidates in the municipal elections, alleging that the ruling party had resorted to such tactics out of fear of defeat as public anger against the government continued to grow.

Addressing an election campaign meeting in Medak on Wednesday evening, Rao said voters across Telangana had turned anti-incumbent as the Congress government failed to fulfil the promises it made during the elections. He asserted that the BRS would return to power



within two years and that K Chandrashekhar Rao would once again assume office as Chief Minister.

Rao warned that those who were harassing BRS cadres and leaders after the Congress came to power would be taught a lesson in due course. Recalling the sacrifices made by K Chandrashekhar Rao for the cause of Telangana, he said Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy was never a match for him, pointing out that while Chandrashekhar Rao resigned from his post multiple times for the Telangana movement, Revanth Reddy had refused to resign even once.
